It's been reported up to 70 percent of women in North America experience harmless, but uncomfortable pain in their breasts. A lump or tumor, although benign, can also cause discomfort in the fat cells and fibrous tissues of the breast.

Castor oil's ricinoleic acid promotes T11 lymphocyte production and can accelerate the healing of infection and eliminate discomfort.

Massaging the breast with castor oil can help excessive body fluid return to the lymphatic system. Also, used to increase milk flow in lactating women. It is effective in soothing sore, irritated/inflamed nipples of breastfeeding women; working faster than any commercial salve. No concern for trace amounts of castor oil left on skin when baby is nursing.

French green clay is a substance that is used for external cosmetic treatments as well as some internal applications by practitioners of alternative medicine. It was used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome to treat a variety of skin problems and digestive disorders.

This clay's green color comes from a combination of iron oxides and decomposed plant matter, mostly kelp, seaweed, and other algae!

French green clay is available in a dry powdered form for a variety of uses as well as in premixed soaps, scrubs, facial powders, and masks* for cosmetic purposes.

It is regarded as a useful treatment for stimulating the skin and removing impurities from the epidermis (outermost layer of skin cells). The green clay works by adsorbing impurities from the skin cells, by causing dead cells to slough off, and by stimulating the flow of blood to the epidermis.

Other external uses for French green clay include poultices** to treat arthritis, sore muscles, sprains, cuts, bruises, insect bites, stings, and minor burns.

Some practitioners maintain that the plant matter in French green clay has anti-inflammatory as well as antiseptic/antibacterial properties.

Hydrocele: accumulation of fluid in the testes, pain may denote the area has become infected.

Since an apparent root cause is a toxic condition of the system (resulting possibly from wrong dietary habits), a series of castor oil packs over the entire abdomen (not just the liver) is recommended: 4 days of 2 hour-packs, 3 days no treatment - repeat.

Also, castor oil mixed with organic whole milk (3.5%) can be used as a purgative initially. For consideration: a raw fruit diet (no bananas) for several days with lemon-juice and water taken.

Cool hip bathes, twice daily, for 10 minutes each are helpful and a hot Epsom-salt bath twice weekly. Loose clothing to be worn.

Draining excess fluid is one method. However this does not remove the trouble, only its effects. The underlying toxicity must be addressed for the condition not to reoccur. During this time, an effort must be made to improve the overall health of the individual: fresh air, moderate exercise, emphasis on raw diet. Strain and habits with a tendency to lower the tone of the body should be avoided.

Topically, hydroceles can be cleared by using the mullein-lobelia combination as a fomentation over the penis and testicle area six nights a week until improvement noticed.

Also, YOGA is by far the simplest consideration.
Vajrasana, (or the Thunderbolt pose) benefits many ailments that originate or involve the pelvic area. Be sure to use Variation II when practising this pose for full therapeutic effect. Testicular swelling and hydrocele are two conditions treated in this way.
